The Seventh Trial: Group B

[hot_mess_express]

[Upon entering the tent, you find yourself in a resplendent throne room. It's empty, aside from a huge throne made of some kind of material that shimmers and sparkles like the night sky, but the floor is mostly covered in a plush raspberry pink rug, and banners of the same colour hang from the walls.

The banners appear to have been dipped in blood, so heavy that the crest once on them is no longer visible. They drip, slowly.

Upon the throne is a simple, unadorned golden crown.]

Where is Justice?

Who wears the crown...?

Comments

[fairwind]

O pitiful pawns of the Light, I ask you this:

What are the limits of loyalty? What is the consequence of dissent? Which bond is more valuable: that between a knight and their king, or that between a hero and their cause?

Answer my questions and show me the truth. Those with evil in their hearts will be punished.

But remember: you are all part of the same mission.

[you can ask questions here, but the Angel may or may not answer.]

ROUND ONE

[hot_mess_express]

[Upon the throne, the crown begins to softly glow.]

First, you must crown your king. A ruler is both powerful and powerless -- a person raised above their humanity, from whom comes only love or despair. The life of the ruler is the life of the kingdom. Who among you is strong enough to bear the responsibility? Whose knights will you be?

[For this round, your group must choose one person to be King. All other characters become Knights. Characters are given the automatic knowledge that placing the crown upon your head and sitting in the throne will serve as coronation.]

[ wow this sounds annoying already. ]

Ah... we're back to this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

Back to this?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

[crossing her arms]

Ugh, and I don't even care how knights and kings work. I'm from a republic.

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

This tent thing happened before.

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

They don't work.

[ :^) ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

And?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

Are we allowed to declare a revolution?

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

It was easy enough until the end. Then our own guys made a dumb decision.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

There's no king enthroned to say we can't!

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

And the consequences were worse than getting fruit pelted at you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

That is a point.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

And that's why they're not a thing anymore! Knighthoods are for actors and funsies now!

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

We fell through glass. It wasn't the worst possible thing, but it was worse than the fruit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

Yes, that is more unpleasant than fruit.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

Viva la révolution!

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

[ ha ha ha ]

That's the right idea.

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

Yeah. The last question we had was about a crown, too. But we don't know what happened, since our idiots [ his. idiot. ] ruined it before we got that far.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

[huffs!!]

Right? If this guy running this wasn't a total jerk, I'd say we should just sit everybody on the throne.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wontforbidtherain]

A shame. Knowing might be helpful for this.

Re: DISCUSSION

[cawnflict]

What, sit on each other's laps?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bowtiedbones]

Sit on laps, sit on armrests, climb on the back. It's a big throne!
